I got an album by accident from Columbia House back in `85 it was Thunder in the East. I saw the back cover and laughed at them... then I gave it a listen.. laughter over... now you know why.
Yeah, really. It's ... By: DevoSoul. on 18 Nov 08, 13:23:47 Yeah, really. It's sad. I am a westerner (shamefully, given the reputation put on by most of the idiots here) and I still cannot believe I only discovered Loudness in 2006. They are one of the best from the 80s, Akira IS one of the best ever and rock music is a joke now! True greatness is a thing of the past. And to all those using the word 'Jap' on youtube, that is considered a racial slur.

honestly, Akira is ... By: ProfessorIgor. on 08 Nov 08, 06:43:39 honestly, Akira is one of the top 5 metal guitarists that have probably ever lived. He will NEVER get the respect he deserved because he's in a Japanese band, and they never get taken seriously in the west. Those who have listened to this man play for 25yrs plus, KNOW he's other worldly in his ability.. the guy is plain and simply fucking amazing.

the whole cd " ... By: wrenzaga. on 23 Oct 08, 19:52:19 the whole cd "thunder in the east" is the best cd ever put out by any rock band period,..u have to chk it out man,..every song!
Saw these guys way ... By: guitarzero. on 15 Aug 08, 05:15:35 Saw these guys way back when I was 15 for "Thunder in the East" tour. Loudness was very popular at that time, so "judging one too many Jap(anese) bands" shows SPLINTERAL's age and lack of knowledge about what else is out there.Akira Takasaki was and still is a better player than 90% of players out today

Pretty original XD. Man I'm not a shredding fan but akira kicks ass. LOl plus the vocals is man haven't heard that in a long long while. A high pitched classic rock kind of voice

Loudness is a ... By: IrishMuslima. on 02 May 08, 04:34:32 Loudness is a seriously talented band that has been grossly over looked and unappreciated for the last 15 years! I can say that because that is how long ago it was when I saw them in San Francisco. One of the best live shows I have ever seen!

I was actually underage like 14 y old. I remember they had an amazing drive on the stage. It was at the Spectrum, a now closed concert hall.

This sounds more ... By: patrickforpresident. on 03 Nov 08, 14:36:57 This sounds more like the Black Page Part 2 here. By the way I believe there is another drummer playing along. Joe Travers. An excellent player himself. Zappa was a genius who liked to challenge himself as well as his musicians. If you look at the movie "Jaws" it's basically 2 notes during the sound track. Genius. What I'm saying is simple, or difficult doesn't really matter as long as it makes sense.
This was more of a ... By: patrickforpresident. on 03 Nov 08, 14:07:50 This was more of a challenge for the young Bozzio. It was Frank's idea. He wrote it, and Bozzio played it. What's wrong with a challenge once in a while? I've seen Vinnie Colaiuta play it, and by far Bozzio plays it the best. Chad is a great player, but head to head Bozzio has to carry him through it to make it sound right. As far as difficulty, the piece was constructed to be difficult. So what??? It's totally subjective. The piece isn't played that fast which makes it that much more difficult.

this is a ... By: Griffotronmachi. on 16 Oct 08, 13:25:21 this is a contentious issue and a highly subjective one what your saying is that a difficult piece is a better piece of music because it is difficult and by rights should require a higher degree of technical ability to play. right? but in saying that you discount song writers who may right over 3 chords who can do a lot with 3 chords, wouldnt you say that being able to turn 3 chords into an engaging piece of music worth while? rather than having a mass of notes that dont go anywhere?

However, downloading for free is a reality.
If bands are good enough they can make money gigging.
This will eventually drive a lot of people away from the idea of being professional musicians, and separate the sheep from the goats.
There are a lot of bad bands out there...along with a lot of real good ones that aren't making a dollar, I admit.

By: RisingForce420. on 16 Oct 08, 01:00:25 So you think that artists shouldn't be allowed to sell their own material? that if you buy the record you can give it to everyone you know? that you can download stuff off of their dvd's so they can' profit off of their own intellectual property and hard work and production work?
'Imagine', ' ... By: wtw88. on 15 Oct 08, 01:27:54 'Imagine', 'Strawberry Fields', 'Helter Skelter', 'In My Life', 'Let It Be', 'Yesterday', 'Eleanor Rigby', 'A little Help From My Friends', 'All You Need is Love', 'Something', 'Come Together', 'Across the Universe', Tomorrow Never Knows', 'Taxman,' 'I'm Only Sleeping', 'She's Leaving Home' and 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' are songs of great variety and imagination lyrically, musically and philosophically.

Just enjoy him. If ... By: Jay435. on 08 Oct 08, 21:17:16 Just enjoy him. If Frank thought he was good enough than I'm sure the standards are higher than any of us responding. I've been listening to Terry for what must be about 30 years now. He always has such a bag of surprises. If you were in the audience, you'd be transfixed. There's an otherworldly quality to him and it does manifest itself in his performances. Brave son of a bitch with bravado!

Phenomenal guitar ... By: finaboy. on 12 Sep 08, 14:21:18 Phenomenal guitar work on this one. This sounds like the 80's. Even though I can't understand 95% of his Engrish, the singer sounds good and looks the part. The drummer and bassist are solid and locked in pretty well. The mix is pretty good too as everything is clearly audible and well balanced. Great tone on a solo that gets increasingly cooler as it progresses... and it goes on and on, twisting here and turning there.
With all that said, I just wish I knew what doood is saying.
